On first sight we were pleasantly surprised by our room, but the place was let down by several annoying, if minor defects. The worst of these was that the tap in the wash basin was installed too near the wall, so that the plunger for the plug could not be fully raised and the plug not fully fitted. This was... More

This hotel is very recommended especially if you arrive the city by car. It is in the modern part of the city, but within walking distance from the charming old town. Service is friendly and rooms spacious.

There is was one good thing about this hotel: the bathroom. Shower pressure was fantastic and the bathroom was not cramped. When our car pulled up, we were confronted with a steep flight of steps to get even into the lobby. And the hotel had no one out front to offer assistance. The lobby looked nice enough as we checked... More

This hotel is incredibly overpriced, with the services you would expect from a one or two star hotel. Front desk staff were disinterested at best. There was one bath towel in the bathroom ( for $200/night ), and it took 45 minutes and a trip to the front desk to get another. I was reprimanded for going to my room... More

It actually wasn't even much of a splurge - make sure you inquire about... More
